I know most people will only watch like half of this video but I would make a part 2 if you guys really want it It's gonna have to be some insane number of likes though, like 3k by October 7th maybe?

[@holey5065]

tip for dumb quarbit: other finished plans for the 3 factions in the remnant disaster give small bonuses (like the expansionist side plan gives you 24 yearly tax income and some colonial bonuses) if you dont go with their main plans, i myself tend to go internal reclamationist plan with expansionist side hustle cuz the reclamationists give 1 free hold level. however i see no reason to go with the citrine/diamond/amber/[insert dwarven culture name here] guard's plan over the other ones. Addendum: i think you expanded too fast in the start, burning your manpower with strong natives, thats why you coudnt beat the rebels as well. With better mil tech though the natives go from equally strong armies to vanilla eu4 natives - annoying at worst. Funny: if you send mercenary regiments as manpower in expeditions, and revert the decision, they suddenly become normal regiments!

[@oxjmanxo]

Fun little fact. You can actually send manpower from a merc company to an expedition. When they return they’re added to your manpower or are regular infantry units. It makes it so expeditions are no longer a drain to your manpower but increase it.

[@cinaralin]

That's a neat trick.

[@JT_Jag]

There's a criminal lack of people doing Anbennar playthroughs who actually take time to think about the lore of the setting, and I've just subbed to you because of your stuff. I have basically no interest in watching Vanilla EU4 (I find Vicky 3 playthroughs more entertaining), but I can't get enough of weird magical mapgame. Keep it up!

[@tuxedoninja2365]

If you get all of the factions prepared during the stagnation then you get watered down versions of their buffs for like 50 years

[@Quarbit]

that's pretty neat, I should've waited a little longer then ig

[@onespiker]

@@Quarbit rarely ever worth it. The reformist are the best then the colonists. The army one is useless though since you are rarely fighting.

[@spoonsareoccasionallymadeo5728]

FOR KARL!

[@ArninoStorm]

Gnolls has the demonic crack-selling pirate republic of Mykx. Elves have Chaddar. The tigermen have the very complex Raj, but personally I think the country that starts as the vizier of the Raj is fun as hell. Halflings have New Shire, where they turns to druidism and accidentally create an army of ents. Each race has some wild content is what I'm saying.

[@huntre111]

Look, once he gets to the hobgobbos he's either going to have to play The Command, AKA one of like 2 tags which is *specialized* for world conquest in the game (along with Jadd the Chad) or install the Northern Hobgoblin Submod for content, both of which would be amazing.

[@LibertyMonk]

Tip for anyone else playing as a remnant hold: If you only ever support a single awakening faction, you'll only have to deal with the beholden once. If you "eh, why not?" and give any other faction any readiness, you'll have to fight the beholden more times. If you don't want more secondary buffs, then focus only on the one faction you're looking for. If you *do* want buffs from the other factions, they have to also be fully ready.

[@arathian4872]

“Serpentspine diamonds” is an event that drops the price of gems by HALF globally. It’s a bad event for all dwarves that get a ton of gem provinces. If you read the lore, you are essentially creating artificial scarcity of diamonds outside your holds by refusing to sell any gems except a pre-set amount. You are literally pulling a DeBeers.

[@drakan4769]

couple notes on the beggining disaster: every faction can give you an extra bonus on top of the one you pick, but you need to get them to full readiness (and it's rarely worth it given you'll lose time and have to deal with more beholden) the reclaimers are usually the best choice to focus on, they give you a free hold level

[@scissors118]

I'm loving the Anbennar phase for this channel. The Hoardcurse is a very fun disaster to deal with. I hope you enjoy it in part 2. Diamonds are unbreakable after all

[@cathulionetharn5139]

the dwarves are actually unfinished, there is still the semi final and final nation state, so for instance a united north dwarovar and then entire aul-dwaroval which is going to have a crusader kings style dynasty/clan/parliament system, no idea when it actually gets made but the explanation is on the discord and in excel files Also dwarves ruled ALL serpentspine and had enough advanced technology to fight a defensive war against a defensive war against a stellaris style space capable race, the precursor elves. So yeah, they were pretty advanced.

[@cinaralin]

I love playing anbennar dwarves (tried all of them) so this is a treat. This probably isn't very exciting to watch for non-serpentspine-addicts though tbh. Sadly. Edit: hopefully some people get curious about the very different play style.

[@JohnPGarrett]

Your Anbennar gameplays are some of my favorite videos you make, a part two would be *amazing!*

[@caileanfindlytearle6936]

Ahhh, seeing your struggles with the remnant mechanic brings back some memories. You always want the reclaimers because they give you a free level 2 hold and you never have enough manpower to fully use the expansionists. NOTE: the more fully planned out factions you have, the more buffs you get.

[@francesco8000]

I've reached the point where "normal" anbennar dwarf are not enough and i'm thinking about adding the dwarven monument mod and try the amldihr mission tree mod. Basically my anbennar is not enough so i want to put more anbennar into it.

[@Quarbit]

careful not to overdose on dwarfium

[@lenompasbanal2478]

Do it, I've been playing with them for so long, now they are integral to the main mod in my mind

[@Woeno]

@@francesco8000 There's Cannor, Haless & Aelentir, Dwarven are the three ive got, i also run the racial buildings mod but that ones a bit unbalanced

[@TheSumisus]

I once played a game as the Imperial gnomes and united my home region and dev'd every province to 45 and expanded... Only then did I go and conquer the provinces to form the gnomish hierarchy. As dessert.

[@loveitorhateit127]

I had my own Arg Ordstun run recently and it went about as well as yours... until the disasters. The Hoardcurse, the Obsidians and the secret mysterious third one all messed with me to no end.

[@LibertyMonk]

Just so you know, Natives in the serpentspine are vicious. Don't bother fighting them until tech 4, and you'll still loose a lot of manpower to them until tech 6. Ferocity on them gives them a lot of tactics, and being at 9k of them means you can hardly even outnumber them. And, Danger Level doesn't matter, ignore it. Length is what kills expeditions.

[@tylerharless5153]

I would love a long series like this! I want to watch your livestreams but they are lengthy that it's hard to find time to watch them. This seems like an amazing way to get more anbenar in a more manageable time frame!

[@MrFrostburner]

The reason the Basalt dwarves mission said it was empty was because in their mission tree there's a mission where all the dev of the hold get transfered to the rest of the country and the hold fills with lava so everyone abandons it.

[@azpont7275]

Playing Dwarves without the Great Projects submods feels sinful to me.

[@onespiker]

It's so incredibly op that it makes it kind of boring though?

[@painthuffer69]

Make the second part AND play gnomes!!! Anbennar is pure mod gold, delightful to watch AND it hasn't a lot of other channels covering it

[@B100inCP]

I would love to see a part 2! Played a game of the amethyst dwarves myself recently, love how they're completely alcohol-themed.

[@B100inCP]

Also thanks for the subscription reminder at the end, I watch you so much (and follow you on Twitter) that I was completely convinced that I was already subbed but apparently the KZbin algorithm has just been doing its job exceptionally well.

[@k_aesar]

I played as them and got 4 disasters in 10 years, 10/10 would dig again

[@aruik8332]

I'd love to see continuation of the playthrough to see how you try to survive Hoardcurse and Serpent's Rot!

[@reroman1892]

oh, i didnt know arg-ordstun had an mt, i thought they were still in dev. Love to see people playing anbennar, its such a good mod. I recommend you play in the ynn region next, vels fadhacai would make a good narrative for a video

[@lillith5641]

We need a second part if not for the mission tree then for the disasters. What are anbennar dwarves in the serpentspine if not a disaster simulator

[@LadrixiaThorne]

I'm in the midst of playing a dwarf campaign and making beautiful holds give benefits by sometimes firing events that give you like 260ish crowns, prestige and something else.

[@Thorzmane]

Anbennar? Check Highlord Quarbit? Check Dwarves? Hardest CHECK of my life

[@krasnoludzkipiwowar8303]

mmm dwarfs, yes. I like the brewer's hold near command, and the goblins with the lich.

[@FreelanceTriacanthos]

Would be very excited for a part 2! Honestly I think Abbenar might be the reason I pick up EU4 instead of EU5 :3

[@captainjaxen]

If you are still going to play each race I recommend Goldscale for Kobolds, very fun MT and insanely stupid attrition stacking, I was able to take down the #1 GP by like 500 dev more than me by just attritioning their army to death

[@Cristnogol]

Gnomes next, but I would recommend Reveria; human administration but it still counts. You can swap to gnomish mil, and you get artificers and lots of gnome stuff in the MT

The trick of playing dwarves in Anbennar Eu4 is ... to not play them yourself let your favorite KZbinr play them for you so you don't have to deal with all the mid-game hassle :) thank you

[@rickardspaghetti]

Arg-Ôrdstun was the first nation I ever played in Anbennar. It didn't go too well, because I'm not very good at EU4.

[@HeroNotFound05]

The best dwarves are the company of Duran blue shield

[@huntre111]

So not to spoil things *too* much, because I'm a filthy Dwarf Enjoyer (my first playthrough was Ovdal Lodhum, second went into Escann as Corintar, then I went back as Amhldr refounded by adventurers), but *to my knowledge* there are 3 big 'dwarven disasters' outside the Godwake: The Hoardcurse, which you're starting to edge up on, and is basically 'so I heard you like Loans' the disaster, and two Whole-Serpentspine ones, Serpent's Rot, which is caused by digging into a strange cave at random iirc, and is just agonizing devastation and stability hits, along with *I think* dev hits until you randomly get the cure unlocked, and the Obsidian Legion, which I believe *any dwarf* can spawn, which creates an invader army and causes a disaster for the one who cracked it open, though I don't know if it's locked to the Player country if they're in the serpentspine, and you *can* avoid it, though I won't spoil how. I will also note that the Assembly of Holds is actually *really important* for Dwarfs late-game, since holds start adding base local autonomy after I think rank 3 at 5 per, up to 30 local autonomy at max hold rank, meaning you *need* that reform in order to get the most out of your holds, the hearts of your power, moving into mid-game. Also worth noting that most Dwarven nations that I've seen the MTs for don't really focus on reclaiming Aul Dwarov, the super-formable for dorfs in the mountain, mostly because usually by the time you can start thinking about forming it, you need to murder the command and their puppets for holds in addition to the Jade Gemstone for the crown, which you *also* need to form Aul Dwarov. I'd also really recommend getting GUIbennar, it's a mod that tweaks the province layout so that you can see all the minorities of a province, and their tolerance levels, without cluttering up the modifiers list on a province, and it has a button for holds that can show you a lot of information. Current Hold Level and effects, all *future* hold levels and *their* effects, as well as the maximum hold level for that given hold (iirc it can range from 7 in Gor Burad because Active Volcano to 10 in most holds, then 11 for the big super-hold capitol Almdr), as well as letting you dig from that interface.

[@jones19876]

i think there is atleast a fourth disaster that can happen. a goblintide or something. basically all over the nation goblin rebels start pop up until you have beaten them all. but i dont know if that still exists and what causes it

[@huntre111]

@@jones19876 that *sounds* like Allclan's overgoblination, but don't quote me on that.

[@onespiker]

@@huntre111 very different thing. That's just a modifer. The goblin disaster was a thing in the past atleast but I think they deactivated it for a while now.

@@bshorrar You should have never gotten to that point in the first place. When I say "don't let them out" I wasn't being coy. Simply do not set them free by digging through the Strange Calcite Layer and nothing will ever come of it.

@@bshorrar the event that causes them to arrive is avoidable. The x layer with a warning sign, that doesn't give you dig speed. Refuse to dig there and you will be alright.
